POWAY, Calif.  BILSTEIN, global manufacturer of monotube gas pressure shock absorbers, has announced a new sweepstakes contest. Now through Aug. 1, enthusiasts can enter to win one of three customized vehicles and a trip to the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas where they’ll pick up their new ride. Once they vote, participants will also have the chance to select the parts to be installed on the vehicle, which will come from leading aftermarket brands in the industry.

In this one-of-a-kind sweepstakes, enthusiasts will be able to vote for the ride of their choice from now until Aug. 1 and enter to win until Oct. 7. BILSTEIN will tally the votes and build the fan favorite for the sweepstakes winner. The choices include the classic Ford Mustang GT, an off-road worthy Ford F-150 truck or a sporty BMW 335i.

One lucky winner will be announced on or before Oct. 11 so they can start planning their trip to the SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center on Nov. 5-8. Not open to the public, this annual trade show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world.
